the world is driven by dreamers shaped by the interests of those with. dares thinks. we dare to ask. to welcome back now to some of the top stories from the past 7 days a starting in the united states where world press freedom day was marked by us all for a taste for many focused on generalists rights in other countries a day arrived as it was revealed that the united states had witnessed more than 400 assaults on journalists over the past year there were also 139 to read and over 100

cases of reporters equipment being damaged and the 2021 tracker shows more and more incidents every day in the we continue to coast on off took a closer look at press freedom in america. if there's one thing entrenched in the d.n.a. of us democracy that would be putting america on the pedestal of righteousness at every given opportunity like here we're seeing every day. the work that journalists are doing around the world in increasingly difficult and challenging conditions nothing is more fundamental to the good functioning of our democracies they advocate they seek safety they celebrate the us knows how to throw one hell of a party for a truth teller look no further than julian asuncion he's published so many u.s. secrets america's justice department is captivated by the man they just won't take

no for an answer if extradited a son it will be celebrating his accomplishments like the guantanamo bay files or the iraq war logs for up to 175 years likely in a maximum security prison the ruling in his case leaves open the possibility for the u.s. government to pursue journalists and publishers around the world if their report annoys the washington establishment that is santa remains in prison underlies the grievous threats to unfettered journalese that the serious legislation poses and of course there's no bigger custodian of journalists safety than the modern day america it is incumbent on all of us to counter these threats to a free and independent media including physical risk and arbitrary detention for one saudi journalist physical risk and arbitrary detention escalated into horrible

suffering and death in a matter of minutes jamal khashoggi fell out of favor with the saudi royal family and in 2018 was killed inside their consulate in istanbul reports suggest he was tortured before meeting his death beheaded and dismembered. as his killer as go to way on private jets the u.s. could not stand idle in the face of such an atrocity that's one reason we announced in response to the brutal murder of jamal khashoggi the shoji bam to help deter threatening behavior against the media i beg your pardon all this crucial g. band is it is a visa restriction policy that doesn't even target the saudi crown prince despite the cia itself saying he personally ordered the hit we held accountable all the people in that organization but not the crown prince because we have never that i'm aware of when we have an alliance with a country gone to the acting head of state and punish that person and ostracized

him and a cherry on top of this towering pile of hypocrisy is this promise of joe biden to show he was in fact murdered and dismembered and i believe in the order of the crown prince blair would make it very clear we were not going to in fact sell war weapons to them we were going to in fact make them pay the price and make them in fact the pariah that they are the ban is cosmetic. we know or the murderer and and the person who did order that murders not going to be elder charitable he remains untouched because washington doesn't want to disrupt that relationship and because the saudi government buys billions of dollars worth of us are it's in the same way that we hear them talk about freedom of the press these are rather hollow empty gestures that our attempt to. a

sensually massage public opinion but aren't in any real way attempting to hold people accountable us politicians love to float amid the smoke of virtue and mirrors of morality but then things come into sharp focus and we see just how little integrity there is left. twitter suspended a new account that was sharing donald trump posts just a day after it was created it was made by the former president's communications team to promote his statements trump has also discovered he won't be posting on instagram or facebook any time soon the oversight board upheld a ban imposed after the capitol hill riots in january triggering quite an outburst from the former president. the board's farms the 2 posed by mr trump one general with the 6th severely violated thiis books community standards and the instagram's community guidelines given the seriousness of the violations and the ongoing risk

of violence facebook was justified in suspending mr trump's accounts on general the 6th and extending that suspension on generally the 7th however it was not appropriate for facebook to impose an indefinite suspension what facebook twitter and google have done is a total disgrace and an embarrassment told country these corrupt social media companies must pay a political price and must never again be allowed to destroy and decimate electoral processes the tech giants claim trying to violated their incitement to violence policy we discuss the implications of this with form a trunk campaign advise that current g owner. should actually terrify every single american in any single citizen in the free world because we're looking at. a private for ration who is upgrading as a platform and one day and a publisher the next day we can have have it both ways but apparently are these

individuals whether they're the c.e.o. of the company or a bulwark were representative of the company itself to make these decisions to silence americans or elected officials and only becomes. a question of free speech we have a corporation an american corporation that is arguably more important and more powerful than elected representatives. dozens dead and missing and hundreds injured in colombia after a week of anger a tax reforms the proposal has now been scrapped but the government's crackdown only spurred on the protests a candlelight vigil was held in the capitol. thursday night with thousands gathering to pay tribute to the dead while voicing demands for the killings to stop the violent reply to the protests is being globally condemned however there was only a carefully measured response from the united states

a country known for pulling out all the stops to support activists in other countries our senior correspondent more i guess you have to look to why colombia is a warning to everyone a warning of what happens when people have had enough. millions of colombians of fall and into poverty because of the pandemic and economic woes medians and the government plat must hike taxes so taxes on the already

impoverished when the people rebuild the state attempted to crush them saying the police had new choice but the bats of them senseless. nothing justifies people who protected by the legitimate desires of citizens to march go out to shoot defenseless citizens and cruel attack police. there eating degrees of outrage today in from around the world for concern to shock to the surface in fact you could even get away with condemning the protesters all over the world citizens in democratic countries have the unquestionable right to protest peacefully violence and vandalism is an abuse of that right at the same time we urge the utmost restraint by public forces to prevent additional loss of life yes you policeman killing all those silly protesters but then again colombia is very friendly with

the us america regularly sends troops there so why ruin a good thing but just for reference listen to how the united states kook about the protests in hong kong we will continue to stand with hong kong years as they respond to beijing's assault on these freedoms and autonomy and we will not stop calling for the release of those detained or imprisoned for exercising their fundamental freedoms you know how many protesters were killed by police in hong kong. 00 take that is where in neighboring colombia the u.s. tells brutus this that behave themselves in venezuela they supported unarmed coup led by a man described as washington's lapdog we will continue to work with our partners across the region both to alleviate the suffering of the venezuelan people and to exert pressure on the regime so the country can peacefully return to democracy no mention of the fact that of the suffering in that exists is jus 2 american

sanctions but hey it's just how politics works how much those in power care about the suffering of other people is directly related to what those in power have to gave why let the peasants and the disaffected destabilize colombia when the president is such a good friend. washington colombia plays a very strategic role for the matted states of america where there are several united states bases in colombia colombia for many years has been headed by governments and presidents that have been subservient to u.s. interests in the region so you see a lot of geo political strategy being used in the united states of course they would turn a blind eye to human rights abuses in colombia because it doesn't bear radical agenda just as ignoring human rights abuses in saudi arabia or anywhere else in the world by a u.s.

ally it's what they tend to do year they tend to overlook things when it doesn't serve their interests. back in 30 minutes. with the way.
